Promoting strong local member-based associations to act as champions of transparency and consumer protection leads to more ethical and fair treatment of clients of financial services.
“Responsible finance” can be understood as a guiding principle for how financial services should be delivered to meaningfully contribute to
sustainable development. One of the critical dimensions of financial sector responsibility is fair treatment of clients and acting in ways that protect their social and economic
welfare.
What We Aim to Achieve
SEEP provides organizational and financial support to microfinance associations to address capacity gaps in areas that are crucial to their successful
promotion of responsible finance. Our suite of tools and expertise seeks to help associations accelerate their development, expand and improve their product and service offerings and
contribute to industry-wide innovation.
The SEEP Network collaborates with the Association of Microfinance Institutions in Rwanda (AMIR) and The MasterCard Foundation to lead the Responsible Finance through Local Leadership and Learning Program in Rwanda. Through market facilitation,
the program aims to catalyze large scale systemic change around responsible finance by addressing the underlying causes of market weaknesses.
SEEP’s services to our members and the broader industry build upon over 30 years of proven leadership in promoting inclusive and responsible financial systems. SEEP provides on-site and
off-site consultancies and technical assistance, as well as training in the following essential areas of association performance.
